Solved, thanks for the help. More detail: I was using Firefox 3.0.11 with Firebug. However, when I wrote "refresh" above, what I was actually doing was putting the caret in the address bar and hitting enter. I mistakenly believed that was a "hard refresh"...better than the refresh button. I tested in IE and it exhibits the same behaviour - I had to actually hit the refresh button to cause the css to update in the browser.
Put that one in the "time vampire of learning" box ;) Thanks! Mike On Jul 17, 3:03 am, "Diez B.
